Need to hook up laptop to TV

\015 I have an acer laptop that has the ability to hook up with a computer monitor but I would like to hook it up to my tv instead. My laptop also has an HMDI port, but unfortunately I do not have an HDTV. I'm trying to hook it up to a JVC tv that has an S-video port. Is there any way to do this? I tried buying one of those VGA to s-video convertors (http://www.amazon.com/CONVERTER-S-VIDEO-ADAPTER-graphic-function/dp/B000S675JU) but that didn't work. Any ideas?\015

Answers :

If you have an HDMI port you might also have an RGB port, use your tv video source button and go through your options. If RGB option is listed you have it. It's a standard moniter port, you can use a standard monitor cable to hook things up. This will not however carry sound so you'll need a basic 3.5mm size cable that ends in an RCA plug (can be picked up radio shack. \015\012\015\012I use this method to watch hulu.com movies on my 50" plasma tv.\015\012\015\012Another option if you have an "S" video on both the laptop and the tv, use that with just an "S" video cable. \015\012\015\012Other wise look for a RGB cable that converts to standard RCA stereo plugs again Radio Shack should be able to help you. You can also buy cables on eBay a lot cheaper then a retail store.
